Public Run Day Special Update - Reinstating run day hotdogs and more
Back by popular demand we will be cooking out for lunch at our May 21st public run day. Just like before COVID everyone will bring a dish or side that can be shared with everyone. We will also be digging out the grill to cook hotdogs.
For those that are asking what can they bring here are a few ideas:
Salads like Potato or Macaroni
Chips
Cookies
Anything you think others would like
Don’t forget to bring your own drinks especially since it will be warm on Saturday, May 21st.
We are looking for one or more volunteers to check out the grill, clean it, and make sure we have enough propane on Saturday, May 14th during our work day. For those wondering where the grill is its in the red container.
Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m.

First public run day of 2022 is in the books
This past Saturday, April 30th marked the first time since we had a spring public run day since 2019.

We gave nearly 700 rides over the course of 3 1/2 hours with three steam engines and two diesel locomotives throughout the afternoon. Here are a few pictures from the day and we look forward to seeing everyone at our next public train ride day on Saturday, May 21st from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The video is of a 2-8-4 Berkshire locomotive which is modeled after real the 757 Nickle Plate Railroad steam engine which is currently undergoing a cosmetic restoration project at The Mad River & Nickle Plate Railroad Museum.

Our next public run day is coming up on Saturday, May 21st with our workday scheduled for Saturday, May 14th. More information regarding both days will follow but several people have asked if we could bring back the run day potluck with hot dogs so we will be asking you in a follow up email if you are interested bringing it back.
And finally several members will be traveling to spring meetings coming up this week at Mid-South Live Steamers and Palmetto Live Steamers. Don’t forget to print out some flyers regarding our Fall Meet. Here is a link to the flyer for you to print out - Fall Meet Flyer. If you have any questions please let us know.
